The Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka has urged acting Inspector General of Police to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into the abduction of an employee of the Swiss Embassy in Colombo.
Writing to the acting IGP CD Wickramaratne, the Chairperson of HRCSL, Dr Deepika Udagama said: “The Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka is deeply concerned by media reports that an employee of a diplomatic mission in Sri Lanka had recently been abducted by a group of unknown persons who had allegedly demanded that she provide them information pertaining to Sri Lankans who have sought protection through that embassy.
“The Commission urgently calls on you to conduct a thorough and impartial investigation into this alarming incident. As you would agree a speedy and impartial investigation into the matter to unearth those responsible is absolutely essential to strengthen public confidence in law enforcement and to dispel public fears,” she said.
Dr. Udugama said: “When the public entertains such fears it has a chilling effect on democratic rights and freedoms. Not only must justice be done on behalf of the young woman who may be traumatised by the abduction, but the larger issue of the need to reassure the public also must be addressed.”

Impartial investigation??? So far in Srilanka impartial investigation did not happen as far as to my knowledge, particularly during the period after 2005. After the end of war in 2009, there Tamil doctors were arrested and forced to appear to the media and they said no civilians were killed by Srilankan military. Similarly in few days time the Swiss employee may appear in the media and will confirm that he was not abducted.He may on his way he went sick and he was taken to hospital by some one. Who will be prepared to sacrifice his life to tell the truth?

Or do you consider that to be fake in keeping with global trends where anything which does not conform to one’s view is considered ‘fake’? ?

Not Just Dr Udugama, I myself think too much days before I plan my travels back home Old Codger. I dont want to get hurt by anyone down there. I love to visit my mother in her burial place. That is what relieves me a lot to make my mind about everything. I thought the country would be led by good leaders having started with GG. but the media mafia run by Rajaakshes did not allow it. EVEN today, se ehow they make every effort to bury that swiss embassy abuse issue. They do anything and everything – to overshadow the kind of criminals acts. These men are records breakers when it goes with human rights violations.

Yes, what ‘impartial’ investigation? Deepika acts like Pontius Pilot Roman Governor Of Judaea. Washes her hands off all abuses that comes under her purview. She acts like a spokesperson. No action talk only. Always in deep slumber.
The HRCSL is a defunct Organization. What are the Terms Of Reference Of the Commission and Commissioner? The most ineffective Govt. Organization that supposedly gives unhindered support to very serious offenses.
A visit to the Premises will confirm the uselessness and inefficiency of this Pompous and Righteous sounding Organization. Applications for violations have to be filled in a format that is insufficient for such abuses and misdeeds. No Counsellor is available for guidance/ assistance for victims who require relief or support for their complaints. Servile Employees in attendance.

HRCSL,
RE: Abduction of Embassy Employee by the Rajapaksa Waffen SS.
The spokesman for the Rajapaksa Waffen SS says the following:
The Swiss Ambassador in Sri Lanka has no right to keep a Sri Lankan employee inside the Embassy on the basis that local employees do not enjoy diplomatic privileges, the Pivithuru Hela Urumaya (PHU) said today.
Its leader, MP Udaya Gammanpila said under Clause 38 (2) of the Vienna Convention, locals employed at embassies do not enjoy diplomatic privileges.
“The decision on whether the employee should give a statement to the police or not should be decided by the Sri Lankan Government and not the Swiss Ambassador. There have been instances where statements have been recorded from those who have been shot and on the brink of death. The decision is up to the judicial medical officer to decide whether this employee should be questioned,” the MP told a news briefing.
He said it was not certain whether she was being detained at the Embassy against her wishes or was staying there voluntarily.
“It seems that the Swiss Ambassador is visualising a white van culture and not the Sri Lankan Government. The latest episode of the white van drama comes to light after being directed by the Swiss Ambassador. He says one of the Embassy employees has been abducted by a white van, she has taken ill now and the matter should be probed. However, the Embassy does not even reveal the name of the employee or allow a statement to be obtained from her but calls for action and an investigation on the matter,” the MP said.

ASKING impatial investigation under ROGUE adminstration is similar TRIABal AFRICANs to wait decades to see it beyond.
–
This is what I got to read this morning:
–
Considering all facts, the Magistrate ordered the Chief JMO to provide a report on her physical and mental health condition on the next hearing date.
Last week, the Court issued an order preventing her from leaving the country and also ordered CID to record a statement from her on or before December 9.
The CID had recorded her statement for about nine hours, starting from Sunday (08) 5pm to Monday (09) 2am
The report given by the two doctors attached to the Swiss Embassy had mentioned that his client has also been sexually abused and assaulted during the incident
–
Still much is in favour of the criminals
– 1. These are similar to Thadjudeen killing – a young man in mid 20ties, a rugby champion, was murdered and packed in a car – on the other side next to driving seat – and told the world, it wa a just an car accident. All the evidence were doctored to show the world, that it was not a murder, but GOOD governance govt came in, and found that it was a murder no second to that of SAUDI jouranlist killing in Saudi embassy in Istanbul, Turkey a year ago.
–
2. There was a rape case, where a young teeny girl of a former soldier father coming from Galle area, was raped several times according to medical reports… the alleged man , by name ” rathanran”, a pohhottuwa regional support, PS member, Rajapakse worshiper, – how ever, RAAJAPAKSHE ORIFICEs /derana Nalika and HIru Nalika, …. did not allow the news be captured by headline news, and the man and his whereabouts are hidden today.

Prof Lasantha Pethiyagoda / November 30, 2019
An abduction and assault, threats and intimidation are all serious criminal acts. The police should and could have arrested the suspects and revealed their identity by now if no political hand was involved. On the other hand, if there was a sudden scramble to conceal the incident and the suspects are still at large, and the police are “clueless” it smacks of political interference with law enforcement. In resolving crimes involving ordinary people, the police are usually very quick to bring the criminals to book. Not so, when “higher authorities” have a hand to play. A fair justice system with honest police work are the only recourse available to ensure justice for the citizens of a country. If that is subject to political will, it is a sad indictment on the level of maturity in Sri Lankan society.
/
D. P. / November 30, 2019
Lasantha,
Why beat the bush when the whole world knows that this kind of high-profile abduction and illegal interrogation cannot happen without GoRa’s approval. As I keep telling, this can be explained only as a product of an anger management problem (Bipolar Syndrome or GINIPUK GAYA in colloquial Sinhala) b’cos no sensible head of state would ever dare to touch a foreign embassy. I will guarantee that, every time something or someone irritate him, GoRa would behave in this manner. Unfortunately, there is nobody in the whole Gvt who could stop him from going nuts!
/

If Nishantha run out of country, how would you come to know that it was a runaway or vocational tour? Let’s say this time you read it in CT; then who assigned you to investigate that matter from a Swiss embassy employee? You always assign the jobs for you, no bosses get involved?
See here, everybody knows everything. Further Aanduwa knows even that. But Aanduwa knows that people will try to be gentleman, willing to follow Media ethics, polite language……….Aanduwa wants it that way and we many, succumb to that. If we didn’t we too will be given a free transport to 4th Floor on a white van. If you are not working at Swiss embassy, even Deepika, the unemployed one in HRCSL, will not see you.

According to news filtering in, the lady had a revolver pushed into her mouth and was sexually assaulted. Who wants to come before a cop and lodge a police complaint after such an incident. They have daughters don’t they? What will they do if their daughters or daughters-in-law have to go through the same nightmare?

Prof Lasantha Pethiyagoda,
“An abduction and assault, threats and intimidation are all serious criminal acts. The police should and could have arrested the suspects and revealed their identity by now if no political hand was involved. “
This is an action of the Rajapaksa Waffen SS, a criminal organization. This is not the only criminal act of the Rajapaksa Waffen SS.
The Nazis used Christianity. The Rajapaksa Waffen SS is using Para-Sinhala Para-“Buddhism”, that is an insult to the Buddha, and the imbecile Para-saffron clad monks are quiet.
From the grape vines, ……
Raided the offices of a news outlet..
In a separate development that has worried Sri Lankan journalists, the police and plainclothes officers on Monday raided the offices of a news outlet, News Hub, known for its criticism of the Rajapaksa family. Several journalists said they were forced to unlock their computers for them to be examined.
An associate of the News Hub website, Dhanushka Ramanayake, said in a news conference after the raid that he feared this was the beginning of a dark period for Sri Lanka.

Mrs. Bandaranayke was personally anti Western and took revenge from children whose families voted for United National Party and at the same time, her members came to Western countries, especially London and settled down for luxury life. Today, they also, becoming Western agents for convenience.
As I said, Mr. and Mrs. Bs were processed and brought to power as part of preparation of war. And both Bs were used to attract western public to promote hatred against Sri lanka and get support for Tamil to get citizenships, political support and establish Tamil global government and train Tamil as Spies and eventually undermine Sri lanka. These are also done to Attract Hindus India as their ally. India were hating western countries because they were supporting Pakistan for decades. So, Tamil Tigers war and smuggling Tamil and providing them with all support is also a part of greater trick to calm down Indian anger and turn them become a western ally
Other well know fact that Western countries acted upon in 1983 is that Indian and Tamil have been very jealousy of Sinhalese becoming independent and powerful nation. Therefore, Blackmailing of Indian was easy based this Indian jealousy fact.

Also, where are the other 34 candidates who had the audacity to contest? I’ve been blasting one of them – Dr Ajanthat Perera on her land and mobile phones.

If the chief priest wearing a Prof Title would announce in favour of the fairy tale maker, so, there are much objections but to follow….. if anyone would say ” sadu sadu”, the others blindly follow it. That is the lanken sinhala tradition if I may say so. ‘

To tell you, Mr Sinahala Man, once I happened to discuss with several physissts in europe about so called radiation of BUDURAES on the steeple of SOMAWATHIYA dagaba. This I did to clear my confusion. So, me too as a science graduate, I know it very well, that the light and its features on physical structures. Be it on a steeple of a dagaba, cathedral building or that of a mosque would not make it different. That are the effects of like reflections and refractions on physical structures. But if a monk or someone in that nature would loudly endorse, that it is so called ” buduras”; then uniquely lanken people or the like minded ones in Nepal and India would not cross question – their mind sets are conditioned being caught by the lack of knowledge states – being like frogs in a well …. even my sister who is a retired teacher would not see it beyond but to believe not the explanations being given by science researchers but lanken kind of stupid men.

This is not good at all very negative publicity Internationally and going to hurt all Srilankans
That was precisely why this was engineered by the Western Cabal.
They wanted to give this government a bad name and c reated an incident. They gave a cop refugee status without any qualms, even against the background of the FCID where the telephone call of MS. Wickremasinghe to the Avant Guard Senadhipathi story is well known .
The Swiss government thought that the present government will yield easily and allow the woman (who alleges to have been abducted) to go away to Helvatica without a further fuss.
But they got it wrong. This is not the Ranil-Mangala government. The govt. has rightly decided to follow the rules that bind diplomatic missions. If the person is the object of a police investigation the person must be produced, instead of being kept hidden inside the embassy.
They thought by saying that the person is gravely ill, they can get out of it.
But NO, that makes it worse. NOW a medical officer MUST examine her! The Swiss are in a diplomatic mess of their own creation.
For once the Sri Lankan government has shown that the law of the land applies, and that we are not being cowed down because it is the Swiss embassy.

The bad publicity that we are getting is hurting us, and I wish we could be the paradise that we once were. We could regain some of the valuable things that we once had, but not all. We have done wrong, we have to pay for it.
.
This Swiss business has got far too much publicity. We can get over it only by correcting ourselves, not by showing that the Swiss have, for a couple of centuries at least, observed double standards in business, banking, and arms dealing. All that may be true. No, it is true.
.
Our country was well-placed in 1948. We have steadily eroded since then. It is we who are to blame for 71 years of steady deterioration in all fields. You take even the present storm in a tea-cup (relatively speaking). Can’t you all see that the fault lies here?

Let Gotabaya Rajapaksa come clean on all issues relating to his 70 years in this world, especially those relating to citizenship. Let Mahinda Deshapriya take responsibility for what looks increasingly as though he has deliberately been covering up for Rajapaksa double talk. Let the Sinhalese commenters stop talking about where Jeevan Hoole hails from and what languages he speaks or doesn’t speak. Let us hear from Nalin Abeysekera.

The HRCSL is comedy club. There was a Tamil man returned (deported) from Swiss. INGOs protested to Swiss government for deporting. He was arrested and tortured on the FORTH FLOOR. HRCSL refused to talk. A man (ex rebel) was punished to protect Saharan Gang by Yahapalanaya, when his gang murdered two innocent police Officers. Madame refused question the Appe Aanduwa. The poor wife with five children came to street to protest. Police threatened her with gun and arrest and sent her back home. She wanted to commit suicide, not knowing how to feed her children. Neighbors blocked it made her to hold on to her life. It was a bloody shame, Deepika, herself is woman, calling her women activist (WNW), human right activist and HRCSL commissioner, refused to help that woman. At the end Saharan Gang came to rescue her husband by purposefully telling the truth.
An embassy employee enjoys shadow diplomatic privileges in all countries. If she asks for, she may even get a citizenship in Switzerland, to protect her. Why this comedy club is wasting taxpayers money without purpose. If Lankawe refused to investigate that case, they even may face economic sanctions by West.
The lady is openly saying that it is a good technique for War Criminal family to investigate Swiss embassy case, to pretend to be caring about human rights. May I know what class these people completed as highest? Trying to save government from its real human rights violations by investigating a high profile case? Is that the gracious job of Human Right Commission of Wildlife Sanctuary SinhaLE Lankawe? Comedy Thamai!

Therefore Srilankan Police is the only power which can investigate the Crime.
And the SLP must have access to the Victim not only to find out what the Crime is , but also what state the Victim is in physically.

If the Ambassador is shielding the Victim and not allowing the Srilanka Police to carry out its duties . it may come under obstruction of the Police Duties.

When someone takes refuge in a foreign embassy, Sri Lanka police has no power to do anything leave alone questioning. Julian Asange example is clear on this. It is only when Colombian embassy expelled him from the premises, the British police could arrest him. Therefore as long as Swiss embassy says she is not in a state to be questioned, Sri Lanka has to keep its mouth shut. There is a plan to airlift her by helicopter to a safe place for treatment. Pressure will be applied to such a degree that Sri Lanka has to stomach its pride and let it happen, breaking all rules of immigration. Already Nishantha de Silva has given all documents about use of chemical weapons to kill Tamils to Swiss authorities, which he got during investigation of the murder of Prageeth Eknaligoda. Very soon others who are disgruntled with Rajapakse murder gang will give information about other war crimes.

Why is this woman gone and talked about this issue with the Swiss Embassy rather than going to the relevant authorities? What the hell is the Swiss Embassy is going to do as this allegdly happened in Sri Lanka soil? When there is not a shred of phycial evidence of this incident, the euphoria shown by those who are trying to discredit this goverment and the coutry is deplorable. Dr. Udagama really?

Victim name may be withheld so far because the victims seems to be have endured different type of harassment & tortures. They may seek gag order from the court to stop media revealing the victim’s name or photo.
Out Army and police are masters, man!

The self-appointed “Human Rights Commission of Sri Lanka” (HRCSL) must learn to write good meaningful English if it is to earn the respect of those who read their press releases.
As Marshal McLuhan said, the medium is the message. The press release should also be in good Sinhala and Tamil.
Here we examine the English document, and find it hilarious and unprofessionally drawn up. It shows a lack of careful thought by those who prepared the text.
The text also shows that the commission does not respect human rights, because an allegation is not true until proven, and hence those who are accused of some crime should be treated as innocent until proven guilty.
So when you refer to an abduction, well-experienced and law-abiding scribes would refer to an “alleged abduction”, and so on. No such care is found in the wording of the press release, establishing a level of surprising sloppiness.
The text says:
“As you would agree a speedy and impartial investigation into the matter to unearth those responsible is absolutely essential “
So does the HRCSL believe that the alleged culprits have already been buried and now need to be unearthed? Great!
“When the public entertains such fears it has a chilling effect on democratic rights and freedoms.
This is a common MISUSE of the word entertains.
According to most dictionaries , “Entertain” has the definition: If a performer, performance , or activity, thoughts entertains you, it amuses you.
So the HRCSL thinks that the public is “entertained” by fears! That is, the public is
made up of a collection of masochists!
What a hilarious press release.
Furthermore, when the HRCSL spokesman Udugama refers to “such fears”, those “fears” should have been defined in the text previously. No such fears have been described!

This for all you Rajapakse haters who have written a lot crap.
Firstly , None of the Rajapakse’s were punished for all the allegations that were made by the Yahaplanaya although they promised to imprison them prior to the previous presidential election. So since they could not pro e any if the allegations the Rajapakse’s are innocent until pro an guilty. GR and MR is in power now so you can jump up and down as much as you like because they where they belong.
Secondly how dre8 you guys make all these assumptions and allegations the honourable GR with regards the Swiss embassy incident. The fact that aTamil was involved in this false allegations of abduction and the fact that she was not willing to give statement alone should be clear to guys if you don’t have shit in your brains..
Finally the majority Sinhalese has voted for GR and the reason for this is because the sinhalese realized that they need to get a leader who won’t lick the white mans A___.
